per Rand Ball:
Gophers coach P.J. Fleck, with his "Row The Boat" mantra, relentless energy and 4-5 record in his debut season, has made himself a pretty easy target for criticism and/or fun at his expense.
The latest example came Tuesday at his weekly news conference. Fleck was talking about expectations and the process the Gophers are going through, the coach began to draw on two pieces of paper.
On the first, he drew a diagonal arrow — a straight, smooth line that gained height.
"This is what everybody thinks success is, right?" he said to the assembled media. "You start here, we hire the guy, and there he goes. We're going to win, and we're going to keep winning because we had change. That's not realistic."
Then he made a second drawing of a jagged line. It started out high, dipped down, then crept up and down at intervals until finally getting higher than it started.
"This is what success really looks like. … There are going to be a lot of peaks and valleys."
